Descrição
Consilience The Unity of KnowledgeOne of our greatest living scientists–and the winner of two Pulitzer Prizes for On Human Nature and The Ants–gives us a work of visionary importance that may be the crowning achievement of his career. In Consilience (a word that originally meant jumping together), Edward O. Wilson renews the Enlightenments search for a unified theory of knowledge in disciplines that range from physics to biology, the social sciences and the humanities.
